Fields of Gold

Our newest addition, Max went to the vet for an evaluation and treatment plan. We've decided on acupuncture, cold laser therapy and medications for the first two weeks to see how it goes.

Max has settled into his new life and routine. He's a nice boy, that is affectionate, and is always willing to give you his paw, lick your hand or face, or whatever he can reach. He is still a little growly when our dogs get to close to him. But I'm okay with that, because the dogs seem to be okay with it.

I took Friday off of work to get a few things done. But I ended up with a little spare time in the morning, so I packed up Sheba, picked up a good friend and we went over to Maryland to see the sunflower fields.

Most of the bigger sunflowers are past their peak blooms.

And I know they are nowhere close to the magnificent sunflower fields in France.

But I do love the golden sunflowers.

They are really beautiful and I'm glad my friend and I were able to go and see them this year.

We'll be mostly inside this weekend because of the high heat.

And tomorrow is a bittersweet day when a new chapter begins for one of our pups. I'll tell you about it on Sunday. Enjoy your weekend!

Great to know Max is settling in and treatment may help him.Love the sunflowers. Spotted fields of them while watching le Tour de France during the week. Absolutely beautiful and special for me as my favourite colour is yellow.

A Little About Me...

In 2007 my dream of living in the country and sharing it with senior Golden Retrievers came true when we moved to a small town in Northern Virginia into a home that would become 'Golden Pines.' Our lives are now filled with more rescued Goldens and Labs than I'll admit to, a Wheaten Terrier, a lively little Scottie named Todd, and one very tolerant cat and one that's not tolerant at all. This blog chronicles snippets of a life that has truly 'gone to the dogs!'
